Story
I am trying to raise funds in order to distribute blankets to children in Souhth Africa who are orphaned, vulnerable and alone.
60 countries across the world knit squares and send them to South Africa, they it turn these in warm blankets for the young.
The blankets are made up by volunteers and Gogos (elderly community in South Africa), who receive a small payment (50p) per blanket, this empowers these ladies and gives them a sense of worth.

I can't run a marathon or anything that involves sports, but I can knit and I can put this to great use. I did not realise how cold the winter was in South Africa and when you see these children .
